CONRAD CLOUSE KILLED. "Cooney” Clouse, son of Frank Clouse and aged about 22 years, was instantly killed last Friday evening about 9o'clock while crossing a bridge with his threshing outfit northwest of Wolcott, the bridge going down with him and the tender, which was being pulled by the engine, crushing him up against the guide wheel to the latter and caving in his chest, killing him almost instantly. His companion who was at the throttle of the machine escaped with a bruised arm. The funeral was held Sunday from the Catholic church here and interment made in the Catholic cemetery west of town. About two years ago a brother of Conrad's, "Dub" Clouse, lost one arm in a thresher and was crippled in the other arm. M. A. GRAY BADLY HURT. While returning from Fountain Park Monday, M. A, Gray, w(th wife and three children and Cairie Detrick met with a bad accident by the team which Mrs. Gray was driving running away at the McLaughlin hill north of Carpenter's creek. Mr. Gray was in the rear end of the wagon, and in attempting to get hold of the reins which had dropped from Mrs. Gray's hands, he stepped over on the wagon tongue and fell beneath the wheels. One leg was caught in the wheel and twisted around before be could get loose, breaking it badly and forcing the broken bone through the calf of the leg. Mrs. Gray was thrown out and her face scratched and bruised by coming in contact with the gravel. The Detrick girl was also thrown out but was not injured, although she later fainted from the shock. The children were not hurt, we understand.

Alfalfa In Illinois. Replying to an Inquiry in regard to sowing alfalfa In Illinois, A. M. Ten Eyck says: I understand that alfalfa is being grown successful In many places In Illinois. It appears to be necessary, as a rule, to Inoculate the Illinois soil with the bacteria which grow-s) ou the roots of the alfalfa phmts. Tne best way of doing this Is to secure a little infested soil from Kansas alfalfa fields or possibly from well established fields in Illinois. The Illinois experiment station has shown that the bacteria which live on sweet clover roots will also work on alfalfa, and this jstatlon recommends spreading the soil from sweet clover patches over the field to be seeded to alfalfa.—Kansas Farmer.

SPEAKERS of CONGRESS from INDIANA

Schuyler Colfax, American statesman, was born In the city of New York March 23, 1823, a short time after the death of his father. He was a grandson of General William Colfax, who commanded General Washington’s life guards throughout the Revolutionary war. Owing to the limited clrcum-’ stances of his widowed mother be had scarcely any opportunities for obtaining a school education. In 1836 he removed with his mother, to northern Indiana and employed his leisure hours In reading law, In which he became very proficient, although he appears not to have taken up the study with any view of adopting It as a profession. About 1845 he established at South Bend, Ind., a weekly paper, the Saint Joseph Valley Register, which he edited for many years, and which was an able organ of the Whig party. He was secretary of the national convention which nominated General Taylor for the presidency In 1848. As a member of the convention which fyarned [revised] the constitution of Indiana In 1850 he opposed the clause which prohibited free negroes from settling ih the state. He was the Whig candidate for congress in 1851, but was defeated by a small majority. In 1854 he was elected a member of congress from the Ninth Indiana district, wblch he represented until he entered upon his duties as vice president. He was elected rpcaker of the house by the Republicans In Decemlier, 1863, and was twice re-elected to the same position. On May 21, 1868, he was nominated for vice president on the ticket with General Grant They received 214 electoral votes against eighty given to Seymour and Blair. Hfe died at Mankato, Minn., Jan. 13, 1885.

UNFAITHFUL SEERVANT

Sold His Employers* Goods to Other Merchants Who Knew He Was a Thief. WILL THEY GO UNWHIPT ? Looks That Way Except as to One Whoso Bank Account Was Small—State Items, M,uncle, Ind., Aug. 2S. Muncie merchants whose names are known to the police, but not to the public as yet, fear they are to be indicted on charges of receiving stolen property, as the result of the unearthing, apparently, of a conspiracy between them and Ira Thornburg, a driver for Hotter Bros., meat dealers. Thornburg is In jail and has eoufessed that while acting as agent for the Hoffers he has stolen hundreds of dollars’ worth of lard and meats and has sold these to retail meat dealers and grocers at a price less than the wholesale rate. Says They Knew He Stole the Goods. William Nelson, manager of the Durst case, is also under arrest on the charge of receiving stolen goods, because of his having accepted, as alleged, large quantities of lard and ham from Thornburgatabsurdly low prices, knowing the goods had been stolen. Thornburg not only has confessed, but he has Implicated the dealers who bought the goods of him. saying they knew the materials were stolen, but were anxious to obtain the great profit that accrued to them by buying so cheaply. Have Made Good to Hotter. Some of these merchants, if not all, are well known. Most of them have been able to raise the money they are accused of cheating the Hotter firm out of, and, as far as the Hoffers are concerned, will not be prosecuted, but the state may take a hand In prosecuting them any way. One grocer is said to have been compelled to mortgage bis home In order to “make good.” The state Is said to believe It to be unfair to prosecute Nelson, the case manager, ■Who did not have the money to restore bis alleged ill-gotten profits to the men he had defrauded and to allow the others who have the money, to go free. How Thornburg Did the Trick, ' Thornburg at times drove one of tbe big delivery wagons of Hotter Bros. In addition to doing a wholesale business, the Hoffers have two large re- *>' ' ’ •-* •-* 'V,' ' '

tail stores of their own. By means of "juggling” his meat deliveries between these stores Thornburg was able to filch many hundred of dollars’ worth of goods which he disposed of at low prices to men who, he declares, were “in” with him on the deal. Nelson has been married only a few weeks and bis bride is prostrated by her husband’s arrest

The prospective fruit grower will appreciate a few remarks In regard to the price of fruit land In Oregon, the prices of the various fruits and the adaptability of our state to growing the different kinds. We think at the present time there Is hardly 5 p«c cent of the suitable land In Oregon In use for raising fruit. The tabulation of the fruit districts and the fruits that do well in them will throw light on this subject, but the world must know that more fruit land is lying idle In this state, particularly in the Willamette valley. Moat all of our foothills could be successfully put in cultivation, and upon a suitable subsoil the apple, pear, peach and grapes will grow to perfection. The Hood and Rogue river valleys have become famous, and the Willamette valley will be second to none when her people wake up and Improve the splendid opportunities which He before them. In Large Tracts. The land here in large tracts which is producing goat pasture and selling at the present time from S2O to SSO per acre should be put into suitable fruit and be worth from five to twelve hundred‘dollars per acre. There is nothing worth while in this world which does not cost an effort. There are difficulties incidental to all progress, and the fruit grower must be determined to meet and overcome them. The success of a man is usually determined by himself, and If the right spirited tiller takes charge of our soil it will undoubtedly do its part in return. Bome Profits and Yields. We may here give to some advantage the profits and yields of some of our leading horticulturists of the state. In southern Oregon there are thirtylive Acres of Spitsenberg apple trees fifteen years of age which bore from thirty-five to thirty-seven boxes of three and one-half tier apples per tree. The net receipts of this crop was some better than SB,OOO. On another farm in the same vicinity an acre and onehalf produced 1,200 boxes of apples which sold for $2 per box, making a profit of $1,520. A carload oTsouthern Oregon pears sold last winter In the east as high as $3,000. The Hood River Apple Growers’ union sold its apples this year a little better than $3 per box. It must be well understood that the fruit is first class, and made ■o by proper management. Oregon Experiment Station.
